    De Silva picked up the length and got under that. Great shot.

    SL 141-5

    This has represented a good comeback from the tourists. They were 21-4, don't forget.

  4. SL 140-5published at 30.4 overs

    Lovely! Dhananjaya de Silva is playing beautifully here.

    He is toying with Eoin Morgan and the England field at the moment, as he upper cuts David Willey over short third, the ball after he'd been brought up.

    Another change as David Willey replaces Mark Wood.

    Slower ball from Tom Curran and it was picked. That sort of swipe we saw from De Silva the previous ball but he has made contact this time and he's got a four.

    It's no Old Trrafford, is it?

    I’m not sure if I am allowed but I’ve snuck my way onto one of the terraces which are part of the fancy new stand I mentioned earlier. Suddenly I feel like I should be wearing a smarter shirt. Nice view though.

  9. SL 131-5published at 30 overs

    Jonny Bairstow must get through some throat sweets. He never, ever stops chirping.

    A juicy half volley from Tom Curran gets the treatment it deserves, as Dhananjaya de Silva moves to 70 with a shovel over mid-wicket.

    Double pace for England, as Tom Curran, who bowled four overs for just nine earlier, is back on to replace Adil Rashid.

  11. SL 125-5published at 29 overs

    Today is my first day live texting back in Salford HQ since the start of the pandemic. Bear with me. It takes some getting used to again having done it on your bed and sofa for the last 15 months.

    Sri Lanka's predicted score is 220 at the moment. Having been 21-4 I'm sure they'd take that.

    Just a single from Mark Wood's sixth over.

    I would say that Sam Curran has stitched himself onto the hat, he's going nowhere.

    Here's how Sam Curran claimed his fourth wicket.

  14. SL 124-5published at 28 overs

    Rebuilding done, and time to attack? Sri Lanka have handled Adil Rashid really well in these white-ball series, and they are today too.

    Dhasun Shanaka paddle sweeps for four, before repeating the shot, despite a fielder being placed there, for a couple.

    Ten from the over, with a run being scored off every ball. That's the sort of Sri Lanka need.

    There are a few Sri Lanka flags around the ground - certainly more than were at Durham. The fans waving them have been kept pretty quiet but Dhananjaya da Silva is giving them something to shout about.

  16. SL 114-5published at 27 overs

    England, of course, have wicket-taking options right through their team, but the express pace of Mark Wood is one the main ones.

    He's back on and gets greeted with a good cut for four by Dhananjaya de Silva. He's played really nicely.

    Thanks Tim.

    Sam Curran is going to have a very long and successful career for England isn't he?

  18. Postpublished at 15:06 British Summer Time 1 July 2021

    That's my first stint of commentary done so I'm going to hand over Callum Matthews to take you through the end of Sri Lanka's innings.

  19. SL 107-5published at 26 overs

    Adil Rashid hustles through another over, clocking up four dot balls. Mark Wood preparing to replace Sam Curran.
